Whether you choose a tent for protection from rain and cold or you simply love the look - a tent can add a gorgeous element to your celebration. Remember that draping, lighting and flooring will dramatically change the look of your tent. There are many options in assorted colors, shapes and sizes. Just because your tent is covered, do not overlook cooling and heating. If your party or wedding is going to be held in a pretty location, consider a clear tent. We recommend setting up your tent a day or two before your party. At Pryor Events we love planning weddings and events in tents!

We planned a recent Wedding Celebration in this

gorgeous white tent on the beach in Santa Monica.

We designed this tent at a private home in Beverly Hills for a long time client's Birthday. Such a fun party to produce

Haveyou ever wished you could create a gorgeous, professional looking floral arrangement? Now you can! Fleurish is opening on San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood this weekendWe love the new concept of Fleurish created by super talented Amy Marella of Hidden Garden.You simply choose one of the nine kits and then the fun begins.

This is an example of one of the nine arrangements you will be able to create. You are given lovely fresh seasonal flowers, a great vessel, special tools, a step by step guide and a custom box to transport your creation in.

Here is another beauty that you can actually put together yourself.If you prefer to buy a pre-made arrangement you may do that as well. Fleurish will also be available for private parties and they will have floral designing classes.Welcome to the neighborhood Fleurish. Pryor Events are big fans already.

For the tomatoes, up to an hour before you're serving, combine the shallots, garlic, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the tomatoes, stir gently, and set aside for 10 minutes. Stir in the basil and taste for seasonings.

To assemble the crostini, spread each slice of bread with a generous amount of whipped feta. With a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes on top. Put the crostini on plates and scatter with the pine nuts. Sprinkle with extra basil and serve. Pryor Events are big fans of The Barefoot Contessa!

I hope you have wonderful memories of summers spent doing what you love most. I cannot imagine summer without the beach.

My best memories are of long summer days spent going in and out of the ocean. The biggest decision I had to make was which flavor popsicle to choose from the ice cream man who sold them from a big white box on his back.When I was young days involved building drippy sand castles in the wet sand close to the water - years later I was building them with my daughter who also adored the beach. I will always feel just a little happier by the beach - whether it is close to home in Santa Monica, by the Atlantic Ocean on the East Coast or while on vacation on Kauai or another seaside location. Each beach has its own flavor and I have never met one I didn't like.We love summer at Pryor Events.

There are no rules when it comes to choosing flowers. Mix different textures and combine the colors you love.

It can be visually appealing to mix vessels in different shapes and sizes. Think outside the box - re-purpose vintage perfume bottles, antique urns and modern cut glass carafes. Make sure to cut the stems before placing your flowers in your chosen container.

We worked withHidden Garden to create these vibrant centerpieces that mixed low and tall flowers. Pryor Events loves flowers.

We recently spent a delightful afternoon on a delicious and informative tour of the Original Farmers Market.

Melting Pot Food Tours offers several tours around

Los Angeles. Learning while sampling small tastes of food was as fun as it sounds. The tour began with a bit of interesting history on the Gilmore family - the founders of the market. The market began in 1934. It originally included a trout fishing pond and a drive in theater. The original family still owns the farmers market and they are involved with the operations.

The Farmers Market in another era

Ice cream - made the old fashioned way

Mini tacos from Loteria Grill- muy deliciousWe sampled Brazilian meat, homemade ice cream, old fashioned donuts, delectable toffee, artisan cheese, authentic tacos and peanut butter that was so fresh it was still warm from the grinder.Our tour guide Renee was wonderful - knowledgeable and professional yet still very warm and friendly. We learned that 23 cultures are represented at the farmers market. It is such a popular meeting and dining location in L A that spaces rarely become available and there is no waiting list. Often vendors in the market hear about vacancies first so a few vendors operate several locations within the market. Pryor Events are fans of Melting Pot Food Tours. We are looking forward to going on another tour soon. They also offer tours in East L. A. and Old Town Pasadena as well as private tours.
